Professor Tom Millar

School of Mathematics and Physics

Professor Millar’s research interests are in the areas of astrochemistry and star formation, combining theoretical modelling with observations of molecular emission lines using the ALMA interferometer in Chile. I also collaborate with theoretical and experimental chemists to study reactions that are critical in astrochemistry. 

His research has attracted funding from a number of sources including the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council, the Royal Society, NATO, the Leverhulme Trust, the British Council and the European Union (FP6, FP7 & H2020).
